Coming to terms with reality

Coming to terms with reality

Hi Readers, i am suffering from "mental health issues" and it is an ongoing, daily battle. I am pretty much constantly wrestling with the thoughts going on in my mind. And my psychical life seems too be suffering for it. (There is a huge difference between physical and mental ) something is definitely not right! So each day I'm waking up and going about my routine. And over the last few days, weeks and months. I have been noticing changes in my mentality toward myself, others and life. And some questions such as, what is my life about? And what should my objectives be? Have arisen... of course like we all are, I'm subject too making decisions... and there has been the same options in front of me time and time again for months on end. And it becomes rather draining and mundane. And i feel myself going around in circles like something simple just ain't connecting.

I enjoy writing, art, music. And peace of mind... walking, reading, meditation. Taking care of myself. Socialising. Etcetera. Getting ahead, getting in front. Planning, dreaming and so on. And do my best to look after myself. While accepting that it can only ever be so much.

But there just something not quite right. And I'm suffering for it on a daily basis. And I'm tired and fed up with going through the same stuff everyday. And in all honesty. Alot of my suffering comes from prospective and thought processes.

Does anyone wanna talk with me about some things that might help? In particular dealing with people no matter who they are. Can be very stressful and cause lots of procrastinating about pros and cons. In particularly people who i think about reaching out to for support. Because of dilemmas dramas and social dynamics. And picking up on things that "aint really happening" "gut feelings type of stuff " "intuition" that type of thing. And enjoying time with people is great! I just tend to be overly preoccupied with symptoms to be worried about socialising sometimes "Symptoms which involves others"

Yea @Zoe7 it sounds cosy. It sounds like your house proud and a homebody? Where else does one have to go? If they don't have a home? 😊

Yea @Faith-and-Hope it took me a while to get into gardening. It's a pity you can't have a small garden... although consider, somedays i think it's all to hard and a bit of a bother... what else keeps you occupied?

Hello @eudemonism

Have you thought about doing some more writing? I know that you wrote a fair bit on "Writing as a form of therapy" before...

Do you have a camera? or enjoy taking photographs with your mobile?

Getting out of home and driving ...pulling over....taking some photographs...noticing everything around you ....

this is an interest in itself...

taking photographs of your animals...

change happens...new ideas can come to the fore...

speaking of animals how is Monti behaving now?

I do love my house @eudemonism It is a perfect little 2 bedroom home - just enough room for me and my fur babies - just need a few things done to make some space in the spare room so I can set up my art and music stuff. Kinda finding areas to work in temporarily right now but it hasa been working okay. Would be much better to have that designated space though - especially when I go back to work.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Here's a couple of conclusive quotes i came up with just before as i was pacing the kitchen...

The whole time, the truth has been, right there, in front of me... and the whole time, I've been unable to, deal with it properly...

I'm not trying to hide, from what I've done... I'm trying to hide, from what others have done...

Ok @Zoe7 that sounds great. Your own little art studio/music room. I once had thoughts for my place along those lines. But have lost interest since then, due to finances and lack of interest.

@Sophia1 writing is a very vein venture. And i figure my writing career was basically fuelled by psychoactive drugs, so i moved on from that idea. And Monti is ok, Monti just sleeps, keeps warm and eats.

Good morning all...

I woke up feeling half decent this morning... still very blank, vague see and foggy... so far I've thought about visiting parents, taking Misty for a walk and going fishing... but have just bypassed the ideas because of how I'm mentally and physically feeling...

Most mornings i genuinely have to come to grip the reality of how I'm mentally and physically feeling-because to be quite honest with you all-i feel rather awful most mornings...& it's just a case of smoke ciggies and drink coffee to get going...

I hope today brings something better for all of you..

Ps I'm really feeling the effects of these blocker drugs they've got me on-christ knows what they're truly and actually doing to my mind and body...-i resent them dearly for it anyway...

@eudemonism Hi Eude hope you are feeling better soon. I have my mental health nurse coming to the house for the first time (we normally go out) so I am busy cleaning up a bit so she doesn't think we live in a disaster zone. Hope you have a good day and maybe go to the beach with dog 🙂 love greenpea xxx

Could you please have the last message removed from, The Christian thread, as I do not think it is fair to the other contributors, to have to read that as it is a, Non Debating Thread. I would very much appreciate it if you would do that for them please, & thank you very much, for your help.

Kind Regards,

Bella 🙂
